«L'éternité n'est pas de trop» is the novel by François Cheng, published by Le Livre de Poche in paperback (246 pages, in French).
In the seventeenth century, at the end of the Ming dynasty, a man who has not yet taken his vows leaves a mountain monastery to meet again, three decades later, the only love of his life. The story presents a passion akin to the myth of Tristan and Isolde, governed by the codes and taboos of the China of that time, in which the spiritual intertwines with the mystery of the universe.
This French edition, published in 2003, is part of the Le Livre de Poche collection (no. 15458).
For readers of historical and romantic fiction interested in Ming dynasty China.
François Cheng is a Chinese-born French academician, writer, poet, and calligrapher. He is the author of essays, novels, collections of poetry and books on art written in the French language, and the translator of some of the great French poets into Chinese.
